Tennessee, You're A Lady

(Album: Round Up Saloon - 1982)

Cumberland River
I hear you calling my name
Telling me I should have never tried to roam
Big Smoky Mountains
There's nothing else quite the same
Your memory is calling me back home

Tennessee, you're a lady
And you're always gonna stay a part of me
You're a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee

I took the highway, I had to follow my dreams
And like a fool I let them take me far away
I miss your sunrise, I miss your cool mountain streams
And lady I'll come back to you someday

Tennessee, you're a lady
And you're always gonna stay a part of me
You're a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee

I've seen the world now
I've learned to sing my own song
But I still see your face in every town
Thought I'd forget you
But now I know I was wrong
You're the closest thing to heaven that I've found

Tennessee, you're a lady
And you're always gonna stay a part of me
You're a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee

Tennessee, you're a lady
And you're always gonna stay a part of me
You're a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee
No, I never will forget you Tennessee
